Luo Jing, seeing that Xiao Mu didn't believe him, immediately became somewhat nervous and hurriedly explained, "Envoy Xiao, we are just investigating. If we can indeed confirm a connection with the Undying Evil Ancestor, we will send a message seeking assistance from the Great Tang Ruins, asking them to dispatch an expert to come and kill him."

Without showing any reaction, Luo Jing's explanation actually added some credibility to the matter, while also fitting the specific procedures for assigning tasks set by the ancient Song Relics.

"Why would the Undying Evil Ancestor appear at Ghost Worry Mountain? What does he want to do?" After a moment, Xiao Mu raised the questions in his mind.

"We're not sure," Luo Jing shook his head and added, "When Envoy Xiao arrived, I was just about to lead people there for investigation."

"In addition to the sudden appearance of the Undying Evil Ancestor at Ghost Worry Mountain, more than a hundred ordinary people and Mutated Beings have disappeared in the vicinity."

"We suspect that the disappearance of these ordinary people and Mutated Beings is related to the Undying Evil Ancestor."

If it really was the doing of the Undying Evil Ancestor, what would he want with so many people?

After thinking for a moment and not understanding the motives of the Undying Evil Ancestor, Xiao Mu then said to Luo Jing, "Give me the geographic location information of Ghost Worry Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jing looked to Xuan Mo for instruction. Seeing Xuan Mo nod at him, he agreed and took out a cellphone, "Envoy Xiao, this cellphone has a satellite map. The map is marked with the geographic location of Ghost Worry Mountain."

"Understood," Xiao Mu said as he took the cellphone and stored it in the Earth Seal Space.

Then, he looked towards Xuan Mo, "Leader Xuan, please issue a proof of release for Lan Cai to leave."

"Hehe!" Xuan Mo let out a light chuckle, as if it were nothing, "I almost forgot about that. Wait a moment, I'll write the proof of release for Lan Cai right now."

"And my two subordinates, Chen Qi and Zhang Yue; they are leaving with me as well," Lan Cai hurriedly added.

"Chen Qi and Zhang Yue, is it? No problem!" A smile lingered on Xuan Mo's face as he took a blank sheet of paper and quickly wrote the proof of release for Lan Cai, Chen Qi, and Zhang Yue to leave.

"Lan Cai, congratulations to you on finding a better place. Remember, even if you leave, you're still people of the ancient Song Relics. Whenever you tire of being outside, the Song Relics will always welcome you back."

After writing the proof of release, Xuan Mo casually picked up a seal from one corner of the desk, dabbed it in ink, and firmly stamped it at the bottom of the letter.

I wouldn't come back even if you begged me on your knees.

Lan Cai cursed silently in her heart.

She received the proof of release and carefully read it over two or three times before finally letting out a sigh of relief and treasuring the letter like a precious item.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Mu called out to Lan Cai and stood up, taking the lead and walking out of Xuan Mo's office.

"Take care, no need to see you out!"

Xuan Mo called out verbally, but his expression gradually darkened after Xiao Mu and Lan Cai had left.

Luo Jing, standing in front of Xuan Mo's desk, sensed the change in the atmosphere and didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

"The location information you gave Xiao Mu doesn't have any issues, right?"

It was only after a considerable amount of time had passed that Xuan Mo seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Luo Jing.

"Replying to the leader, there are no issues!" Luo Jing replied respectfully, bowing slightly towards Xuan Mo.

"That's good!" Xuan Mo nodded in satisfaction.

"Leader, I can't understand..." Luo Jing's face showed a hint of struggle, but he finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"What don't you understand?" Xuan Mo asked leisurely as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Seeing Xuan Mo's relaxed demeanor, Luo Jing felt a bit more at ease and hurriedly said, "I don't understand why the leader asked me to give Envoy Xiao detailed information about the Undying Evil Ancestor. Wouldn't it be better to have him find it on his own?"

As Luo Jing spoke, he carefully watched Xuan Mo's expression, and seeing no response, he continued, "The Song Relics are your territory, leader. Everyone here listens to you."

"Even if Envoy Xiao came from the Great Tang Ruins, he doesn't have the authority to order you around, right? If the leader doesn't allow your subordinates to cooperate, and Envoy Xiao has to look for the Undying Evil Ancestor himself, I'm afraid it'll take him two to three months to even confirm the location of the Undying Evil Ancestor."

Xuan Mo leisurely picked up his teacup again and took another sip, not answering Luo Jing's question, but a smile spread across his face.

Xiao Mu is only at the peak of the Yin God Realm, whereas the Undying Evil Ancestor has stepped into the early stage of the Divine Spirit Realm and even holds two treasures, the Life and Death Book and the Judge Pen.

Is there a chance for Xiao Mu, at the peak of the Yin God Realm, to survive an encounter with the Undying Evil Ancestor, who possesses such treasures?

A lighthearted tune unconsciously escaped from Xuan Mo's lips.

※※※

After parting with Lan Cai, Xiao Mu left the Song Relics and deployed the Five Elements Escaping Technique, heading north.

An eight-thousand-li journey, for Xiao Mu, who was traveling at full speed, was not considered too far, and he arrived in just over half a day's time.

A towering mountain that reached into the clouds with sheer cliffs on all sides appeared before Xiao Mu.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, Xiao Mu could tell that Ghost Worry Mountain was at least five thousand meters high. The mountain's steepness was almost vertical, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to climb.

After pausing briefly, Xiao Mu deployed the Escape Art and started climbing towards the summit of Ghost Worry Mountain.

To Xiao Mu, a five-thousand-meter-tall mountain was not too high. With the Earth Escape Technique deployed, it was like he was walking on flat ground, and he soon reached the summit.

The summit was vast and the terrain rugged, resembling hilly terrain that rose five thousand meters from the plain.

Looking around, there were ancient objects coiling and twining everywhere, including twisting trees, strange vines creeping across the rocks, and chaotic jagged stones.
